Original specimen by Blankids Studio

Chunky multicolour capitals with ridges and skin-like marks

Dino

Dino is a playful colour font in which each capital is drawn as a chunky rounded letter with dinosaur features: a row of spikes along the top, spots on the bowl or stripes across the stem, in bright primaries.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Dino.

DINO fills the middle of the card, and the four letters could each be a different toy: the D is yellow with orange spots and three spikes on its shoulder, the I is striped in turquoise and blue with a spiked tail, the N is pink with pale spots, and the O is a turquoise ring with a crest of yellow spikes. Around the words two cartoon dinosaurs stand at the bottom corners, palm leaves hang at the top, and the ground is a pale sand colour with a few scattered footprints. A caption above introduces the face in multicoloured caps and two lines below name it. The forms are simple and heavy, with wide counters, so the drawing reads at a distance and the spikes only become visible up close, which is the right balance for children's products and party print.

Practical applications

Project & layout
blueprints.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Dino’s stroke geometry.

Birthday

Invitation for a roaring dinosaur party

The spikes and spots name the theme without a printed dinosaur on the card, and the heavy shapes stay readable in a child's hands.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 105 by 148 mm invitation: set the name at 40 pt across two rows, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the details at 8 pt, and hold 12 mm of margin so no spike is cut at the edge.

Pre-production check

The small spots close up below 22 pt; print one card at the finished size and check the pattern before the batch.

Classroom & school

Heading for a natural history worksheet

The letters give a worksheet a subject children already like, and the wide counters keep the heading clear at the back of a classroom.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print an A4 worksheet: set the header at 40 pt on one row, keep 15 mm of clear ground beneath before the first question at 11 pt, and hold 16 mm of margin at both sides of the sheet.

Pre-production check

Photocopiers flatten the bright colours into grey; copy one sheet on the room machine and check the letters stay distinct.

Summer

Sign for a museum's family day

The playful letterforms suit a family audience without looking like a nursery, and the bright fills read across a busy hall.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 600 by 400 mm sign: set the event name at 90 pt across two rows, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath before the times at 14 pt, and hold 26 mm of border on all four sides.

Pre-production check

Large prints show every spot edge; print one sign at the final size and check the spikes before the set is mounted.
